> the video still comes with a timestamp which is saved as the mtime do you mean when using youtube-dl/yt-dlp ? they have an option: --no-mtime

  But I actually like it. The idea is that I can pass -c or -m to my script and it's a meaningfully different playlist order (either plays in the order I downloaded, or the order the videos were originally uploaded) And yes the videos were downloaded with youtube-dl edit: ohhh it uses the Last-modified HTTP header to set the mtime!! cool! https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/387132/youtube-dl-and-no-mtime-what-does-it-mean https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/387132/youtube-dl-a...

    Oh I see, that is nice. For my use cases I'd prefer they were the other way round - ctime as upload date, mtime as download date. My downloads do get the upload date written into the video's metadata so I have that if I ever need it.

        I believe it's the --add-metadata option
